UMU 06

 How much of life is by chance? 

Running into you gave me once last chance. 

Every atom in me turned into butterflies. 

My heart, I swear you could hear beating down from the hall.

Pounding with love, heartache, nerves. 

Almost ripping out of my chest to go and hug your heart. 

Our hugs banished all the soreness, and sadness from my bones. 

Looking into your eyes I did see paradise. 

A lost paradise I can no longer be apart of. 

How can one be sane after being shown the other side? 

We hugged, kissed, became one...

We cried...

The whole world dissipated, and we found ourselves floating in space, surrounded by stars. 

 I'm not ready to let go, I told you.

But you said you must.

As you left, the whole starry sky vanished, and was nothing more than a staircase. 

And every atom in me tore in half, 

As you took the other half of me with you. 

Taking all the protons with you. 

It was like a sunflower that was planted in my heart and veins, 

Rooted out.

I could feel you leave every vein and fiber in me. 

I could feel every bone quickly hollowed and filled with heartache once again. 

The reality sat heavy on my lungs, suffocated by the weight of it. 

But despite all the pain, 

I would do it again endlessly if it means I can see you. 

Because I love you.
